The USTA Billy Jean King Girl's 18s National Championships.
What a thrill to watch my granddaughter, Karolina, play in this tournament. Only 200 girls nationwide qualified. Watching her play, was amazing. She is strong, confident and poised under pressure. Since her moms were not able to accompany her to San Diego due to commitments that couldn't be changed, I was given the honor. It was a beautiful bonding experience that I will cherish always.
Airborne!

Another great shot.
Practice, practice. Always moving on the court. When not competing, the girls were practicing.
A highlight for Karolina was when her former coach came to practice with her.
We managed to get to the ocean a couple of times. Here we are at Sunset Cliffs.
